[Mishmash] COST OF A HUMAN BRAIN...hmmmmm

[Fred Atkinson]

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a 
family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking 
tired and somber.
'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the 
worried faces. 'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is 
a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but 
it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will 
have to pay for the BRAIN.'
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a 
time, someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?'
The doctor quickly responded, '$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200 
for a Republican's brain.'
The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to 
'try' to not smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man 
unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question 
everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the Democrats brain so much more than 
a Republicans
brain?'
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the 
entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price 
the Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used."
SEND THIS TO A SMART Republican WHO NEEDS A LAUGH, AND TO ANY 
Democrat WHOM YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT!
